40s - getting back in shape - 2/7/11

Hi all

Murph - you're just a workout freak! So Cathe's premixes aren't tough enough for you ;)?!

Lisa - that is cold! Glad your headache cleared up. I bet you're really glad to be back at work! I bet it's good to feel DOMS after a break.

Mary - sounds like you're all struggling with the cold there. I'm cutting back on the heating now as the temperature's going up.

Vickie - so are you going to try some step today?

I did SloMo Back and Shoulders today and then Yoga abs off Ab Circuits. Didn't work too hard! Right, I better get some work done before DD gets back! See you tomorrow.

Vickie, I'm not sure I was so much dedicated as that I didn't want to drive into work yet. Where do you live? I'm in Denver,CO, our snow might be coming your way.

I'm in TN. It was a relief to see that we only got about an inch but the sun is out and it's already melting off the car. The system that we were expecting shifted more to the North and we were spared. It's looking more like spring this weekend and into next week, with temps in the upper 50's:D
 
I did Step Moves today. I don't tend to huff and puff on that one since it's so dancey. My back started hurting though, it isn't used to all this exercise.

Ronne, I'm still acclimating to the climate change between the Caribbean and here, what a difference! You know I think I get a headache at work because of the glaring sunlight coming in the windows, I get my RX glasses for computer/reading tomorrow, hope they help, otherwise I may have to wear a visor. lol

Murphy, I haven't done that premix, sounds like your body may be so used to the workouts with all teh working out I've been hearing you are doing.

Hi Mary and Vickie! Gotta run
 
Hi everyone! Today will be something! Haven't wrapped my head around what yet! Lisa, I know what you mean about headaches, I think when the sun bounces off the snow it hits my eyes wrong and I can end up with a migraine. Very annoying! I have never tried Step Moves yet. I also haven't done any step since my surgeries, I should give it a try and see how it goes. Ronne, you are definitely on an Amy rotation! Murphy, you gave yourself a total body work out! I didn't know that premix was on there! Vickie, I do like that kick box routine. You have me thinking now... Well, I should go get busy before those children show up! Have a good day! Mary
 
Mary, so glad you understand what I'm sayiing about the glare and headaches, everyone around here looks at me like I'm crazy. I'm wearing some drugstore reading glasses at work until I get my rx tomorrow, if I shade my eye, the reflection off the glasses is soooooo reduced. please please let my rx glasses work! I do NOT like this old eyes problem with reading!
 
Hi ladies!

Finally got a chance to check in... I didn't do a workout today. I had added in some two-a-days this week and I think I just wore myself out. So, I took a rest day. Hopefully, I'll be back up to par tomorrow. Hope everyone had a good day.
 
Okay, today was a good exercise day (i.e. I am feeling energized). I did 30/30 and the barre workout from LBB. I would have added some calf work (I have "man calves") but I got a late start. I will add it in somewhere later. I feel good now but I am sure I will be tired as soon as I climb the stairs and then tomorrow I will be sore. Anyway, hello to evryone. Keep sweating.

Murphy
 
Hi all

Lisa - I can imagine that the glare would give me a headache too. I'm quite sensitive to light and my eyes are often streaming when I go out of the house! Some days it looks like I'm crying!!

Mary - when do you do your workouts? Are you an early morning person like Lisa?

Vickie - a rest day is always a good thing!

Murphy - hope the DOMS don't hit you too hard.

Today was yoga again for me. Really needed it. I've just said yes to a massive project so I'm going to be working overtime a lot over the next month. I'm going to need my moments of calm!
Got a packed weekend ahead so won't be fitting any exercise in I don't think. Have a good one, everyone.
 
Happy Friday! Yea, I took off work, going to pick DH up at the airport (just heard his plane is going to be late, possibly real late). what a pain flying is! Not sure what's planned for the weekend, was wanting to get the kids over for rum tasting and gifts, but they are sooooo busy in school. I had my BFF over last night, had a blast talking about my trip and tasting the Rum. We decided we need to go on a cruise together, now let's see if we can make it happen. I really doubt it as she's caring for her parents and her sister just isn't giving her any break, she's had them living with her for 2 yrs now.

Anyway, I got in Muscle Max. I had a helper join me, Yoshi cat. Normally she wanders down in the beginning and blindly (Vickie she's an old cat and is now blind), anyway she'll step right where I'm going to lunge, well this time she joined me at the end for the ab work, so I petted her while I did crunches :) Yoshi's been hanging with me a lot, I think she missed me while I was gone.

Ronne, what time to your w/o? Just you wait until you hit 46, I swear my eyesight took a nose dive, and here my RX strength is still not that bad, I guess I've just been used to perfect eyesight all my life and notice the small changes.

Murphy, you do sound like an exercise maniac!

Vickie, sometimes your body tells you to rest, it's best to listen (I should heed my own advice).

Hi to Mary too. Did you read those books? I got lots of reading in on vacation but not too much time now (and I want too!). There are soooo many books I want to read.

Have a good weekend everyone!
 
Hi girls! So glad no work tomorrow! I have to get my workout in tho! Ronne, no way am I getting up earlier than I have to! I work out after work and before the kids get home. How about you? Have fun this weekend! Lisa, rum and friends sounds like fun! I like beer tho. Wish I could join you! I have a lot of books to read, when I go on vacation I am taking the iPad. I am going to get to them. I promise! Murphy, you have been a maniac! Did you like the barre work? I am still undecided. Vickie, how about you? Feeling better? Any work out? Hope everyone has a good weekend. Funny story, yesterday on the treadmill, set it for intervals. I was walking, it was going between 3 to 5 mph, all of a sudden it jumps up to 8 mph, I couldn't get my feet moving fast enough! I set it right back to manual! I won't be trying that again anytime soon! I am NOT a runner! Mary
